IRC: Fri Chat

There hasn't been as much chatter on the list this week but we can chat
it up tonight...
I am a little late with this tonight. My apologies.
The IP address for tonight's chat is:
12.67.17.181 6667
Port must be 6667
Sometimes it changes during the day so remember you can always find it
at :

There are now instructions on how to get to our chat if you have a PC
and are constrained to using AOL. While this set of instructions is
specifically for mIRC, I would think that you could translate them for
other programs, and maybe for Ircle on a Mac. I will be attempting to
test some of those, but if anyone gets a chance before I do, please let
me know.
Using IRC on AOL
This procedure has been tested with mIRC only.
Logon to AOL and minimize it.
Open mIRC and go to File Setup and click on the local info tab.
Leave localhost and IP address blank. Under "on connect always get:",
Check the local host box.
That will allow you to get out of AOL.
Logging into our server:
Under File/Setup/IRC Servers, ADD a new entry.
Under Description, type in Venger's
Under IRC Server, input the IP numbers seen above.
The port MUST be 6667. Leave everything else blank.
Click on "OK", then connect.
"Edit" the entry for Venger's whenever the IP has changed,
normally every 24 hours. Input the new IP numbers.
If you are not an AOL user, by far the best solution is one of the
standard IRC clients. They are available thru places listed on Rod's
webpage. If you are unfamiliar with the chat process, email me at
jijones@ix.netcom.com

Some basic information on chatting is available from Rod Vengers web
page and links contained thereon.
Once again, if you need help tonight, I will monitor my email and try to
respond. Or you can call me at 510-795-9723.
Look forward to chatting with you.
